    it depends on how nasty the road conditions are where you live and how nice you want to keep them looking.

    im a little obsessive with my wheels... i guess i like keeping them looking new. i clean them avery few times i drive the car (about how frequently i wash it [img]smile.gif[/img] ). it takes about 15 min to do a good polishing job (i use mother's aluminum wheel polish)

    it depends how nice you want them to stay... im sure you could get away with waiting a lot longer between polishing. the nice thing about aluminum wheels is that you can sand them with some high grit sand paper if they get nasty looking. ive totally re-sanded my wheels (600 to 1000 to 1500 to 2000 grit paper in that order followed by the polish) at least twice in the last year.

    (another option besides the mothers polish is "Never-Dull". It comes in a little metal canister and you can get it at autozone. It works about as well as mothers.)
